Topdesk is our main ticketing tool where user can log their ticket via email or via the self service portal. Our experience isn't that great seeing as we need to hire a consultant every time we need a change to the system. There seems to be no build-in ITIL framework. Change management is inexistent as we needed someone to build it up from scratch.Read all insights and reviews for TOPdesk

My experience with SolarWinds Service Desk has been smooth. It brings structure to our IT operations and helps the team stay on top of issues without getting overwhelmed. The ability to track, prioritize and resolve requests all in one system has made a big difference even though there are a few areas that could be improved like setup complexity but the platform continues to support our workflow and keep things moving efficiently. Its a practical tool that fits well into our day-to-day work.Read all insights and reviews for SolarWinds Service Desk

Freshservice is amazing and very user friendly and intuitive. There are a few items that I would suggest finishing up, as sometimes it seems that the product is not fully developed. I would say it about 95% of the way there, but there are a lot of tiny nuances. Not a deal breaker and doesn't hurt the score, but some clear missed opportunities. Overall, love this product and I'm an advocate for it and want to see it succeed. Be prepared to spend a lot of time configuring over the promised 8-16 weeks, and if you're a large org, you will spend much more time setting up, regardless of 3rd party support.Read all insights and reviews for Freshservice

I've heard great responses from end users for the ease of use. On the other hand, it has done a terrible job of dealing with the form population. We had trouble with accountability and development early on. After kicking up our concerns we had a team pulled together to address concerns and were able to make progress toward a resolution.
